What if I told you that throwing money at homelessness isn’t the answer?
In this episode of Magnify Your Message, I sit down with Mario Henry and Todd Lane, two former athletes who have traded in their jerseys for a mission to tackle some of the biggest social and economic issues of our time—homelessness. But they’re not just talking about it. They’ve built a real, scalable, proven model that’s changing lives.
They’re here to break down exactly what’s NOT working—and what actually does work. Their approach isn’t just about housing—it’s about empowerment, financial literacy, and mental health support.
Listen in as Mario and Todd reveal:
⚡️ Why “just build more housing” is NOT the solution—and the surprising factor that makes all the difference in ending homelessness
⚡️ The REAL reason so many people end up back on the streets—and the missing piece that no one is talking about
⚡️ How their ‘My Landlord is Fired’ program is flipping the rental system on its head—and turning tenants into homeowners
⚡️ The one thing that will actually get people to listen, care, and take action—whether you’re a policymaker, business leader, or just one person who wants to help
This isn’t just theory—this is real, actionable change in motion. If you’ve ever wondered “What can actually be done about homelessness?”—this episode will change the way you see the problem and the solution.
🎧 Listen now and learn how we can solve homelessness—not just manage it.
And if this episode inspires you, share it. Because the more we spread solutions, the faster we create change. 💡✨
